However, the victory came at a cost as star forward Yazan Al‑Naimat suffered a complete anterior cruciate ligament tear and is expected to miss the remainder of the tournament ([en.royanews.tv](https://en.royanews.tv/news/65690/Jordan-goes-through-to-Arab-Cup-semifinals-as-star-forward-suffers-ACL-tear?utm_source=openai)). The team now prepares to face Saudi Arabia in the semi‑final, aiming to continue its impressive run in the competition.
